(check dough at all times)

baked in a preheated oven 250C with steam 15mins.. 20mins without steam. cool in oven with opened oven door

black rice sprouts

2nd SF

made 3 medium loaves

here are the crumb shot... bottom is wee bit dansed, why? how can i get it evenly open?

as for the taste, it is a serious bread!! like eating from white rice, brown rice to black rice! need to get acquainted with the taste and grainy texture. overall, it is soft, chewy n pleasent grainy bite with nice crunch of the crust becos of baking with steam and boldly baked.

it is a lot of prep.. and time taken sprouting and etc.. as dabrownman said a bread without sprouts is like a solar without sun!

Lookin forward to the crumb shot. You bake some wonderful looking breads. You play with ingredients in such a fun and unique way. I really like the rice idea and just might have to try this. I don't think I can get those leaves so I'll have to skip them(any suggested alternative? that I could find in the states). I myself don't care for edamame so I'll eave those out as well. I'm pretty sure you'd have a loyal customer base if you opened up shop. Taking bread in directions few have and or will. And they always look of professional quality. Very nice

hi Josh, i shop around to look for unique ingredients that i can get hold of..

the edamame is for contrast of color. u can leave them out. as for the leaves you can replace it with tea leaves eg. Jasmine tea leaves or edible green tea leaves.

i am baking for my local friends, most of them eat fine flour soft bread. i am trying to get them to appreciate whole grain sourdough bread. baking my bread with a twist to attract them!! lol... working well so far, they are hooked.

bake. Now I have op get my black rice sprouting. Bread without sprouts or soaker is a day without sun shine even though we don't worry about that in the Valley of the Sun but this will be the first week over 100 F every day. We love edamame and always have some in the freezer - what a great color contrasting choice.

Love the scoring and the boldly baked crust. Can't wait to see the crumb and and what you think of the taste. What lucky friends you have! You are lucky to have such good friends to bake for - they have to be converted by now or soon are any rate,

I love the look and sound of this one Evon. I'm sure your crumb shot will look great as it usually does. Please let us know how this tastes and if you can taste the rice and beans in this one. I have to give the coconut flour a go again. the last few times I used it i was not happy as the crumb became too closed and dense but I may have used too much I think.

hi Ian, toasted one slice top it with my all time favorite avocado n butter. very good, u must try one more time with coconut flour. it gives a crunch like panko breaded .. slice it thick if u like a crunch and a cushion sort of chew!!

is just fine and I don't see a too dense bottom crumb. It is still open and irregular and nothing to worry about at all. A very nice crumb overall. I've got the black rice sprouting for some kind of bake on Friday;

a good baking on Friday!! so excited for you... i made some banana yeast water.. bubling very well, not as i expected. fragrant as well. so, i am thinking sprouted spelt with German Erdinger dark beer,banana YW and toasted wheat germ /pecans .. molasses?

really interesting Evon. I think i might have drowned the black rice. I wanted to soak it for 4 hours before draining it off and letting it sprout but forgot about it and it was soaking for at least 8 hours ::( If it doesn't sprout I will just cook it up and use it that way. How long did yours take to sprout? That way i will know if I killed it off.

With the dark beer, molasses or barley malt syrup should work for you mix. Some red non diastolic malt would be nice too.

Hi Jerry, the color was contributed from the ramie leaves and the coconut flour. I baked at 250C with steam 15 mins. Turning every 5 mins. Lower temperature to 220C for further 15 mins. Rest in oven for 15 mins. Cool on rack.
